Star Colonel Jarek Voss, known as the "Dark Reaper," is a commanding presence within Clan Ghost Bear. Hailing from the icy world of Alshain, Jarek's upbringing was steeped in the harsh realities of survival and warfare. His formidable combat skills and ruthless efficiency quickly earned him a reputation as a fearsome leader. Unlike many of his peers, Jarek harbored a deep appreciation for the tactical versatility of lighter mechs, which led him to favor the UrbanMech IIC chassis for its surprising adaptability.
The Abaddon Project
Jarek's fascination with the UrbanMech IIC began after witnessing the success of Star Captain Taryn Sequoia and her customized mech, the Hashké. Recognizing the potential of these seemingly unassuming mechs, Jarek decided to create his own variant, tailored for heavy assault and suppression roles. Thus, the UM-IIC-2 "Abaddon" was born—a mech designed to deliver overwhelming firepower while maintaining the UrbanMech's trademark mobility.
The Abaddon is powered by a Clan XL Engine 100, enabling a top speed of 54 kph. Its armor is slightly less robust than the Hashké's, with 192 Ferro-Fibrous plating, but it compensates with a more offensive loadout. The internal structure, crafted from Endo-Steel, allows for the integration of heavier weaponry. Equipped with a single Jump Jet Class V, the Abaddon retains the agility needed for rapid repositioning in the heat of battle.
Combat Role
In combat, the Abaddon is a harbinger of destruction. Its primary weapon, the Clan Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle 30 (HAG30), is capable of delivering devastating volleys at medium to long ranges. This formidable armament is supported by multiple Clan ER Small Lasers strategically placed across the mech. The lasers provide precision strikes against softer targets and serve as a deterrent against close-range threats. The mech's heat management is handled by ten double heat sinks, ensuring it remains operational even during intense firefights.
Jarek's strategic use of the Abaddon showcases his mastery of battlefield tactics. He employs the Jump Jet to gain advantageous positions and unleash the HAG30's devastating firepower from unexpected angles. The combination of the HAG30 and ER Small Lasers allows the Abaddon to dominate both medium-range skirmishes and close-quarters engagements. The mech's integrated CASE system safeguards its ammunition, enhancing its survivability in prolonged battles.
Legacy
Star Colonel Jarek Voss and his Abaddon have carved a fearsome legacy within Clan Ghost Bear. Their ability to deliver crushing blows to enemy forces has made them a cornerstone of the Clan's assault strategies. The Abaddon, with its blend of mobility, firepower, and tactical versatility, stands as a testament to Jarek's innovative approach to warfare. Together, they have redefined the capabilities of the UrbanMech IIC platform, demonstrating that even the smallest mechs can wield the might of a titan.
